(1,349 posts)Nothing in that link explains the conspiracy theory the propagandists have been pushing about how a political party that does not run any election somehow rigged anything?
Interesting, that the opinion writer forgot to correct for that little thing that affected 2016 that was in effect in 2008 and 2012, the VOTING RIGHTS ACT.
Historic voter suppression, Crosscheck, and the dedicated Russian hacking of the DNC, Voter Registration systems and the voting machines that were supposed to be so secure.
And yes enough Bernie voters were affected by the propaganda to affect the 2016 election, we literally saw the ballots in MI, Moore was talking about the tens of thousands who didn't fill in the top of the ballot, or mention the numerous others that wrote in Bernie or rude words, due to what Moore and the Russians were spreading around.
Without taking into account all these factors, it's ridiculous to compare numbers without context.
